Plantarum, as to make any repetition unneccflary. The variety 

 figured by J acqu in, if accurately coloured, has the advantage 

 of being more fhewy than ours, the wings of the corolla being 

 of a bright red and the other parts of a delicate lilac. The 

 ftipulae in his figure are black ; this we have fometimes feen, 

 but more ufually with us they are of the fame green with the 

 reft of the plant. 



Flowers in July, but by artificial heat, which it bears well, 

 may be made to bloflbm much earlier. In fome colleBions 

 where this plant has long been preferved, its flower-buds 

 which appear annually late in the year, decay without ever 

 expanding. May be propagated by cuttings. 



Our drawing was taken at the Botanic Garden, Brompton, 

 in February 1803.
